    The guys he fought more than once, he averaged 3.4 bouts against.

    That is truly insane, BTW!

    :lol:

    He faced his average opponent by a factor greater than 2x! That's just mind-boggling, utterly fascinating stuff.

    That's an even better tidbit than the one I just mentioned, looked at from a similar angle.

    And if you removed Tunney from the equation, he'd be 134-9-11.

    How many guys in recent years can you think of that had 3 or more trilogies? :think

    I think Pac and Morales both had 2 such instances (including their own)...

    And I'm drawing a blank beyond the addition of Holyfield, who I also think had 2.

    El Magnifico was a terrific recent fighter with just two and combined they effectively ruined him and contributed to not only his prime but his career being over by the age of thirty (Larios & Márquez).

    Greb had 2.4x as many rematches - at 158 - as modern era iron man Bernard Hopkins did times he fought, period (66).

    53% of Greb's ring appearances were rematches.

    Clay/Ali:

    11-0 (5)

    Henry Cooper - WTKO6 in the rematch.
    Sonny Liston - WKO1 in the rematch. (legit, STFU about it)
    Floyd Patterson - WRTD7 in the rematch.
    George Chuvalo - WUD12 in the rematch.
    Jerry Quarry - WTKO7 in the rematch.
    Joe Frazier - WUD12 in the rematch, WRTD14 in the rubber match.
    Joe Bugner - WUD15 in the rematch.
    Ken Norton - WSD12 in the rematch, WUD15 in the rubber match.
    Leon Spinks - WUD15 in the rematch.

    That's actually fantastic. Nothing but high quality there. He ought to be on the poll.
